Sentimental Cards

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there! I have two cards to share today. The first is a sympathy card that I made using Jillibean Soup from the line Cold Avocado Soup. I stamped the sentiment and I added pearl bling to the pop dotted butterfly.

I am one of those people that find making guy cards more challenging. It is not the paper part but the embellishing that I find tricky. I made this card for my grandpa and I think it is the right amount of manly without too much fuss over embellishments. I punched a heart and layered it. I added washi tape and some sequins. The sentiment is KaiserKraft letter stickers.

About Me

I think I have been scrapbooking since the 1990's. I have always had a love for stickers. My elementary teachers would put stickers on my work and I loved to collect them in my sticker books. I eventually began putting stickers together with my photos and after awhile it evolved into an obsession called scrapbooking! I have my own "scraproom" filled with way too much stuff. It is hard to find time to create but it is definitely my favorite thing to do. My style has changed dramatically over the years. I do tend to be monochromatic and I am trying to break that habit by experimenting with patterns and colours! Of course I still love stickers but with all the different products out there I have a few other 'loves' like rub-ons, flowers, ribbon, brads, bling, and buttons. I find my inspiration in my photos and in magazines. Just today I have decided to completely rennovate my scraproom. I am so excited to make it a more organized and cozy place to spend my free time.
